Antero Niittymaki Good Quotations

Feels good to get 20 wins the first year. We still have games left, and I wouldn't mind having a few more.

It's always fun to play against Ottawa, the two best teams in the league. I think it's a good sign when you play good against good teams. Both games (this year) we played really well against them.

It's a long way to the final and we have to play game by game. In this tournament there are a lot of good teams, so anything can happen.

It's good to see where we are. Canada is the best team on paper, so it's a really important win for us. It gives a lot of confidence.

We've struggled at home, so this was really good for our confidence.

I was kind of hoping he was going to make a move. At the last second I saw he was going low blocker. I don't know. It was a pretty good shot.

We spent a lot of time together and it was good. That's about the only good thing about being away for so long.

They didn't have a whole lot of great scoring chances. It's kind of an easy game. There were a couple of good saves in the third period, but other than that, it was pretty quiet.

He was really good with Joni and still is. Me too. I mean he?s been (in the U.S.) for 10 years or something. He knows a lot of stuff and he was always willing to help us if we needed anything. It?s really good.

We have a very good defense and tonight we played very strong.
